How easy or difficult it is to call a surgery was one of the questions posed in the GP patient survey, carried out by Ipsos for NHS England, which looks at how patients view their experience with their GP.
We have had a look through the results and collated a list of the 16 GP practices across Wigan borough which patients found it easiest to contact by phone.
We previously used the results of the survey to reveal the GP practices in Wigan borough with the most helpful reception and administrative teams.
